Sean,
Under Debian, if your sources.list contains unstable, you can just apt-get
install nagios-text (currently 1.0b5-21 - Thanks Turbo!) and you will be
underway.
If you are running stable, put the following in your /etc/apt/sources file:
#cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://ftp.au.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free
deb http://ftp.au.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable/non-US main contrib
non-free
And the following in your /etc/apt/preferences file:
#cat /etc/apt/preferences
Package: *
Pin: release a=stable
Pin-Priority: 900
Package: *
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: -10
That way when you do apt-get upgrade you will only get the stable package
updated, NOT the unstable packages (the pin-priority -10 sets the unstable
packages to never-automatically-update).
To install nagios from unstable, do this:
apt-get -t unstable install nagios-text
and you are off - note that nagios will not be updated from the unstable
dist unless you issue the above command again.
Have fun,
Greg
